Job 37:15

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by their names.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.

God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years;

God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.

Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty! For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as head above all.

For Yahweh said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.”

because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”

and lest you lift up your eyes to the sky, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, even all the army of the sky, you are drawn away and worship them, and serve them, which Yahweh your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole sky.

But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out of it. When he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived. Therefore its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

Can his armies be counted? On whom does his light not arise?

He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,

Who put him in charge of the earth? Or who has appointed him over the whole world?

Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness?’

He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.

Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,

Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.

Can you send out lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are?’

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.

Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the work of your hands.

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

Search in the book of Yahweh, and read: not one of these will be missing. None will lack her mate. For my mouth has commanded, and his Spirit has gathered them.

Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, not one is lacking.

Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.”

God Yahweh, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb says: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;

I form the light and create darkness. I make peace and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

“He has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom. By his understanding he has stretched out the heavens.

All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; and he does according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth; and no one can stop his hand, or ask him, “What are you doing?”

But Jesus answered them, “My Father is still working, so I am working, too.”

When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”
